Type: Concept
As of November 2026, Ice trade has been mentioned in one podcast episode on American History Tellers (Dec 2025).
The ice trade, also known as the frozen water trade, was a 19th-century and early 20th-century industry, primarily catering to demand on the east coast of the United States. Ice was both harvested locally in the winter months and stored for later sale in the summer, and was also imported from polar regions where it could be sourced year round, with Norway becoming the largest exporter of ice.
